Tour de Grass- Cycling the Everglades
Event information
“Tour de Grass – Cycling the Everglades”
(at Shark Valley in Everglades National Park)
They called it Shark Valley because in the days of old when the flow of the Everglades was stronger and the water from Florida Bay would reverse, sharks would be found well up into this slough – “literally sharks in the middle of the Everglades!” Behold the storied River of Grass on this 15 mile biking expedition in Everglades National Park.
Get a close-up view of wild gators, turtles, Roseate Spoonbills and abounding varieties of wading birds and aquatic species.
